PowerDrive 400W 12V to 110V Power Inverter with USB

The PowerDrive PWD400 is a 400-watt 12V DC to 110V AC power inverter that converts your vehicle battery into usable household power with two AC outlets and dual USB ports.

Compact yet capable, the PowerDrive PWD400 gives you continuous 400W of AC output from a standard 12V car or truck battery so you can run laptops, small appliances, chargers and other electronics away from wall outlets. Built with removable fuses, protective circuits and long battery cables, this inverter is designed for road trips, tailgates, camping and mobile work where reliable, portable power matters.

How can the PWD400 power my devices on the road?

Plug the inverter into your vehicle’s 12V source using the included 12V plug or hook up the 36-inch battery cables to a battery terminal to create a 110V AC outlet wherever you park. It supplies steady continuous power up to 400 watts, enough for computers, small kitchen appliances, and phone chargers.

• 400W continuous output for devices rated ≤400W
• Two grounded 3-prong AC outlets for simultaneous AC appliances
• 36-inch battery cables and 12V plug included for flexible connection

What charging and port options are available?

The PWD400 includes two USB charging ports to keep mobile electronics topped up in addition to the AC outlets. Ports include a standard 2.4A USB-A and a faster 3.0A USB-C, so you can charge phones, tablets, handheld consoles and accessories without occupying an AC outlet.

• 2.4A USB-A port for smartphones and smaller devices
• 3.0A USB-C port for faster charging of newer devices
• AC outlets remain available for larger equipment while USB ports charge accessories

How does the inverter protect my equipment and stay serviceable?

Safety features include short-circuit, thermal and overload protection to prevent damage to connected devices and the inverter itself. Removable ATC-style fuses make it simple to replace blown fuses without specialized tools, keeping downtime minimal on trips.

• Short-circuit, overheat and overload protection circuits
• Removable, user-replaceable ATC fuses for quick service
• Ventilation and thermal design to reduce risk of overheating during continuous use

How easy is installation and use in different situations?

PowerDrive designed the PWD400 for quick setup: choose the 12V cigarette-lighter plug for lighter loads or attach the included 36-inch battery cables for higher-demand or extended use. The form factor fits on a vehicle floor, in a trunk or on a workstation and works well for short-term power or as a travel companion.

• Quick plug-and-play 12V plug for easy access from a vehicle socket
• 36-inch battery lead set for secure direct battery connection
• Lightweight design suitable for camping, tailgating, road repairs and remote work

Who this is for: The PowerDrive PWD400 is aimed at travelers, weekend campers, tailgaters, mobile professionals and anyone who needs portable household-style power without installing a complex system. It’s ideal for powering laptops, charging multiple devices, running small kitchen tools or keeping lights and entertainment gear operational while off-grid. If you require more than 400W continuous or need true sine-wave output for highly sensitive electronics, consider upsizing to a higher-capacity or pure sine-wave model; for general-purpose convenience and moderate loads, the PWD400 is a practical, serviceable choice.
